So, the 3 tier preorder is like so:
- Send in postcard by first deadline (the 28th) and if there are more than 150 people who send it in, the preorder becomes a lottery.
- If you lose the first time you are automatically entered into the 2nd time, lose the 2nd time you're automatically entered into the third time.
- Since there are 150 max that will be given out each time, then there are 150+150+150 for the Dollybird 9 Unons, and 50 more if you include the Hobby Japan magazine lottery/preorder dolls (in which the winners for that will be announced on the 11th) meaning there will be 500 total Unoa Quluts Zero dolls in the world till whenever the next preorder comes to be.
My postcard is being mailed off tomorrow. But I have no idea how much buzz this doll is getting in Japan. Also since its a lottery Crescent Shop will not be handling it and only people who live in Japan or know someone trustworthy in Japan will have a chance. I wonder how many people there are who want one, and have the money for it, and have the connections/means to order one.
The postcard is not in simple Japanese. It asks questions. Basic things such as "what 3 articles did you like the most", "what kind of doll requests do you have for us?" and if you have any opinions on the magazine, and the spaces are big enough for a few sentences so I wouldn't take my chances on leaving them blank. I really had to make up some things for Reiji to fill in (which he has to translate to Japanese and then write it onto the postcard), but at least I'll definitely get my card in before the deadline. So I have 3 chances to win, and I'm done saving, and thats all I can really be confident about for now!
I finally got around to doing the "what-I-want-Frei's-faceup-to-look-like" private message to Gen. Usually I do some long formal write-up but I just haven't felt up to it and I only have a vague idea of what I want anyway. "Dark dramatic eyes and light colored lip" is just about it. I did have picture examples but really.. I didn't really ask for much. My B-el face plates should be here by Tuesday by my calculations.. if not then definitely before Friday. I'm not really ready in terms of eyes and wigs but I'm still excited all the same.
